Jumbo or not so Jumbo?

Okay, you know who you are...you who make mistakes...and that would be all of us.

So what constitutes as a jumbo mistake? If one man's junk is another man's treasure and if God is in control of all things aren't mistakes just...a simple fact of life that can be worked with? And if that's the case, and we assume that God, who is in control of all things can turn bad things into good things and vice versa, then really...is a mistake indeed a mistake?

Now, lets talk about sin. Sin is sin and we all know that. Sin yes, can be constituted as a mistake and all and I suppose you could say that sin is indeed a mistake because if we go back to that original sin, then Adam and Eve did make a mistake. But sin is a sin..."big" or "little" it all has the same consequence. So can there really be one sin, one mistake, that is greater than another?

I agree that some sin has graver consequences (earthly ones that is) and that some sin affects more people than other sin but it all has the same lasting, eternal consequence and the same Grace from God covers all of it.

Take a deep breath. Its just a mistake.
